Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for li

27、stening secretly to others conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant to cheat， and since the 1940s it has been annoying.”可知窃听器也可能是一种防盗报警器，从中可以表达为窃听器，即“安装一个报警器”，而不是一个安装报警器的人，由此可知答案选B。4答案与解析：B主旨大意题。通读全文可知本文主要讲述了“bug”一词的演变过程，故选B。B【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了四则应聘广告“Assistant professor in Musical Theatr

32、下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据第二段的内容可知，本段主要介绍plogging的起源。分析选项可知B项(拾荒慢跑就是这样诞生的)与其意义一致。故选B项。3答案与解析：A考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。分析本段可知，主要谈拾荒慢跑的并列益处。根据本空格前的一句“People of all ages are welcome to plog. Exercise while helping your community.”可知，拾荒慢跑在帮助社区的同时还进行锻炼。以及后面叙述的内容可知拾荒慢跑是锻炼和社区服务的平等的组成部分。分析选项可知A符合题意，故选A。4答案与解析：G考查对上下文的理解及推理判断

33、能力。本段主要谈及拾荒慢跑的几个并列益处。根据空前的“its very easy to help build those social connection.”可知，拾荒慢跑容易帮助建立那些社会联系。及空后的“You get to feel some social duty when you do this.” 句子中的get to可知，加强社会人们之间的关系。 分析选项可知G项(你可以了解你的邻居)与“加强社会关系”一致，故选G。5答案与解析：D考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上文“there may be another reason to choose plogging instead of just jogging.
